LONG-TERM RESULTS OF RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY AND ADJUVANT RADIOTHERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH LOCALLY ADVANCED PROSTATE CANCER

Abstract

The article presents the results of a comparative study of the effect of adjuvant radiotherapy on the survival to biochemical recurrence (BCR) in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) of prostate cancer (PCa) depending on preand post-operative prognosis factors. Adjuvant radiation therapy following prostatectomy in a total focal dose of 60 Gy in patients with locally advanced prostate cancer (pT3a-b) or the localized process with positive surgical margins (rT2R1) and highly differentiated adenocarcinoma (Gleason score equal to 6 or less) according to a postoperative morphological examination significantly increases a 5-year survival to BCR by 25.7 % (p = 0.047) compared to observation.
